Well this is my new theory. . .I hope I make sense.
I had to go back to the beginning.
SY and company originally said on 3/19 they hadn't seen Relisha since 2/26. That was the story. And it just conveniently happened to coincide with a time Tatum
did have Relisha. Obviously, because of the 3/1 video, Tatum did bring her back after the 2/26 night at the Holiday Inn.
Relisha had already missed a lot of school by early March. I believe they were allowing Tatum to take her at least sometime in early Feb. "but he always brought her back." But they stopped sending her to school. They had to know why he was taking her. Why stop sending her to school? I think they were afraid she was going to tell someone what was happening. That's where all the crazy stories (excuses) come in about her being under the care of a Dr Tatum and the non-existent trip to Georgia. Because remember SY originally said Relisha was in Georgia with MYT? Now MYT says she was with Tatum. I think it's all bunk. Those were just excuses why she wasn't in school.
We know on 3/1 Relisha was at AY's and SY was also there. This is where all their stories become this huge cluster fawk. No one wants to admit that Relisha was in their care. They are all pointing fingers at each other. It would give Judge Judy a massive migraine! :banghead:
I see two possibilities, but only one makes sense knowing what we know.
Either they were all at AY's and knowingly allowed Relisha to go with Tatum. Something happened to her while at the Days Inn. Tatum disposes of her and goes on about his life until the school social worker comes sniffing around the shelter on 3/19 and the rest is self explanatory. Tatum kills his wife, "the family" is afraid to speak badly knowing he is still out there. And if he could kill his own wife, he probably wouldn't have any problem offing any of them.
But that doesn't explain why they didn't report her missing sooner and why they are still defending him now.
OR the second possibility. . .
Something happened to Relisha on 3/1 while still in the care of either MYT and AY or SY. . .or maybe all three. I think most likely it was
at AY's though, which is why SY is trying to wash her hands of any responsibility. I think they would have called Tatum, because taking Relisha to an ER or calling 911 would have revealed the abuse. They pass a dead or dying Relisha off to Tatum to take care of. He checks into the Days Inn for two nights. LE hasn't shown us any surveillance video from that night, but they seem to believe Relisha was there. Maybe Tatum carried her as if she was sleeping. I find it interesting that LE used some type of device that had to due with bullet trajectory. Anyone remember that? Maybe Tatum realized that Relisha wasn't going to make it, and being someone who had worked with horses, he put her down.

The next day he buys supplies at Home Depot and spends time at Kenilworth Park.
Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, goes on about their business as if nothing has happened until 3/19.
The school most likely calls MYT, she calls Tatum. . .this would be the ridiculous "we talked to Relisha. She made breakfast" call. IMHO that call was really to tip Tatum off that the school was going to call and it was time to play Dr Tatum again. Which is exactly what he did! Maybe he thought the social worker would just drop off some forms at the shelter, but that pesky social worker was probably beginning to smell the sewage these people were spreading. He flees. The Richmond trip I'm still not sure of what to make of that. Get a weapon, get rid of stolen goods, child




, computers, etc. We still don't know where this truck came from. I think most of us assume it's RSL, but we really don't know.
Tatum gathers AT because they can't be at their apartment, LE will be there soon, no doubt. There might have been things that had to be moved out. He calls RSL for the truck. They move some stuff and go to the Red Roof Inn. I think Tatum was probably telling he was in trouble with the police and needed help. He didn't do anything but he helped the wrong people and now it's going to be really bad for him. I think AT would have needed more info than that to understand why she can't be at her own apt. I imagine Tatum was telling her she could go with him or stay, but if she stays she had to say. . .there was pool party on 2/26, he spent every night at home, Relisha used to come to their apt, etc. I think she refused. I'm sure Tatum would have conveniently left out the part where he abused Relisha, so maybe AT was insisting he go to the police. I'm sure they fought. Tatum kills her.
At this point, if you go with theory number one, it would make sense that SY and company would have gotten very real and truthful very fast. But they didn't!!! They're still in CYA mode! :thud:
I think Tatum then tied up a few loose ends and covers his tracks having anything to do with his deep dark secret. I think at that point he probably became despondent. He killed his wife of many years, for all intents and purposes, sounds like he loved. I think he went back to the park and ended it all there. It was where all this trouble began.
But now we still have "the family" acting crazy, shady, guilty, etc. SY didn't bring out the 3/1 video until she thinks she is taking to much heat and wants to reflect that Relisha was with MYT and AY. . .EVEN though SY WAS ACTUALLY THERE DURING THE VIDEO! :banghead: If Relisha is actually found, it might show what actually happened to her. It's probably why we have differing descriptions of her shoes, MYT parades out the Easter dress pics, everyone is sure she is still alive and sold off to some mystery guy on the Metro, or in Richmond, or. . or. . .or. . .:moo::moo::moo:
